The main conceit of the novel is that the MC, a reincarnated or transmigrated man, offers analysis and advice to the disguised king of the country without knowing the king’s identity. In the 30 chapters so far, he’s also impressed three of the king’s ministers with his wisdom and ability to reach accurate conclusions given the scarcest of indirect evidence.It is unclear whether he actually has such Holmesian deductive skills, or if he constructs post hoc cover stories for the knowledge he already has of the kingdom’s development. It’s not clear why he has this knowledge of the kingdom’s development either, or how comprehensive in scope and timeline his knowledge is.Then there’s the fact that according to the synopsis he has a system, which we have yet to see. In summary, at this point the novel has been a pleasure to read, but if it continues in the same vein of him giving sagacious analyses to the king and his ministers, it will get stale. However, as indicated above, there’s still a lot of room for further developments and significant changes to the plot, so it is almost certainly the case that the trial chapters cannot be used to judge the rest of the novel.
